Chapter 196 The Empress Dowager's Care
"How about it?"

Mu Mian disappeared by Fang Ruxuan's side for two days, and when she came back, she looked very satisfied. Obviously, she not only completed what Fang Ruxuan ordered her to do, but also performed it very well.

At this moment, Fang Ruxuan asked, after Mu Mian found Chu Dong, the two discussed the whole process of spreading the incident in the paddock, and narrated it all.

Fang Ruxuan hesitated for a moment, "If someone is interested in finding out, they won't find us, right?"

"Miss, don't worry..."

From the beginning to the end, Mu Mian always called Fang Ruxuan Miss, but in front of outsiders, she always referred to her as "Crown Princess", so in private, Fang Ruxuan didn't bother.

Kapok said with a bag of tickets: "It's all from places with three religions and nine streams. Those places are mixed with good and evil people. Even if someone really goes to investigate, they can't find out. Besides, the courtiers' memorials are going to the paddock these days. They are sent frequently, and what happened after His Royal Highness was injured in this life, so those who are interested have publicized it, which originally sounded [-]% true, but now it is [-]% or [-]% true."

Fang Ruxuan was always at ease when Kapok was doing things, seeing her so sure now, Fang Ruxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: At this time, King Yong is probably still complacent, right?I am glad that King Yao didn't blame him, people around him didn't dare to mention this matter, and Chu Yuan even put on a peaceful attitude.Perhaps, for him, these are a good start, and in the future, he can easily take the reserve from Chu Yuan.

"Is there any movement in the palace?"

King Yong is a fool, but Queen Zhou in the palace is not. What's more, there is Chu Xiu beside her. Fang Ruxuan doesn't think that the movement in Shangyang City can escape their eyes.

After pondering for a while, Kapok replied cautiously: "According to your instructions, we also sent people to guard the princess's mansion. As soon as the rumors spread, the princess went to the palace, but now Two days have passed, but the palace is as normal as before, there is no response, and the Princess's mansion is also normal."

Responding to all changes with the same, this is the abacus of Queen Zhou at this moment, right?After all, people say what they say, three people become tigers, and the rumors in the city, after the freshness, might pass away, so they are waiting and watching.

However, when the courtiers move, they don't know how they will save the mess.

In Fang Ruxuan's heart, there was some faint expectation.

But when she thought that Chu Yuan personally took risks in exchange for it, Fang Ruxuan became a little unhappy again. She would rather Chu Yuan live well than the current situation.

"This matter is like a cluster of flames on the wasteland. We ignite the flames. Whether it will burn into a raging fire or be extinguished invisible will depend on the development of the situation outside. Let's not intervene anymore. Do it The more clues there are, the more clues will be left, just to be on the safe side, you send a message to Chu Dong, saying that everything will change and don't add to the flames."

Fang Ruxuan thought for a long time, then turned to tell Kapok.

Kapok nodded yes.

When Chu Yuan came back later, there was a slight smile in his eyes.

In the main hall, there was the sound of Ding Xiang leading the maids to prepare meals. In the inner hall, Fang Ruxuan was quietly sitting on the soft couch, embroidering something. Chu Yuan walked in all the way, feeling a little warm and warm.

When Fang Ruxuan was pulling the thread, Chu Yuan stopped her hand, took the embroidery work and put it back into the embroidery basket, "It's getting late, so I'm not allowed to do embroidery work, it hurts my eyes carefully."

Fang Ruxuan nodded obediently, put away the embroidered basket, turned her head, and saw Chu Yuan said with a smile: "Today in the Dayu Hall, my father threw all the excerpts played by the courtiers in front of King Yong, and told him to Look at what good deeds I have done. King Yong only thought it was a deficit of the household department and was discovered by his subordinates. He defended himself in front of his father, but the more he talked, the more his father's face became more serious. No, I picked up the booklet at my feet and read it, only to find that it was the courtier who played against me, and then I realized that I had slipped the tongue."

Even if it was just imagination, Fang Ruxuan could guess that King Yao and King Yong's faces at that time must be as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"What about you? Just listening?"

Fang Ruxuan asked amusedly.

Putting on an expression of "knowingly asking", Chu Yuan shrugged, pretending to be helpless and said: "I am a kind-hearted prince, so I will naturally intercede for my brother, besides, after all, I only hurt my arm, so it's not that I'm a child. It's something important, so it's natural to persuade the father not to take the exaggerated words of the courtiers to heart."

King Yong thought that Chu Yuan was a harmless sheep, but he never knew that behind the sheep's skin, Chu Yuan was actually a ferocious wolf.

As for wolves, if other invaders want to compete for their own territory, then a fight is inevitable.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

After dinner, the dark night sky was filled with snowflakes. Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan stood at the entrance of the hall and watched, their hearts became quiet along with the world.

Just after I ordered Ding Xiang to lock the palace gate and let everyone rest earlier, I heard footsteps in the yard, and then a maidservant announced that someone had come to the palace.

When I got the order to come in again, it was a middle-aged woman in her 40s, she looked like a female official in the palace.

"To His Highness the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess, please greet me."

Kneeling down and kowtowing, the female officer said respectfully: "The servant is the in charge of the Shouchang Palace. The empress dowager heard that His Royal Highness was injured, so she specially sent the servant to take a look. Otherwise, the queen mother can't rest assured."

When Chu Yuan yelled, the female officer's gaze fell on Chu Yuan's bandaged left arm. Thinking about it, on the way here, she already knew that it was the left arm that Chu Yuan had injured.

"Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. Gu's injury is much better, and it will probably recover in three to five days."

Chu Yuan said politely.

Turning around, he handed over the supplements brought from the palace to Ding Xiang, and the female official left the Zhaohua Palace. Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan were a little surprised.

The Empress Dowager Lou's dislike for the two of them was almost on the surface, and she was only happy when Chu Yuan died in an accident.It's only been a few days since they separated, but she changed her temper and came to care about Chu Yuan with a grandparent's affection?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

"Go and see, where else did that female officer go, and who did she meet."

Fang Ruxuan summoned Kapok and asked.

Waking up early the next morning, Fang Ruxuan learned that the female official had already gone back to the palace, but she went out from Zhaohua Palace the night before to the residence of Marquis of Lin'an.

Ordinarily this is quite normal, after all, the Marquis of Lin'an is considered to be the mother's home of the Empress Dowager Lou, but when thinking of Lou Ya, Fang Ruxuan intuitively felt that it might not be that simple.

Sure enough, not long after Chu Yuan went out, Lou Ya came to the door.

However, it was the housekeeper of the Marquis of Lin'an who came to deliver supplements and wound medicine, but Lou Ya "dropped in" to greet Fang Ruxuan, the crown princess.

Today's Lou Ya is not wearing riding clothes, and she is wearing a pink satin jacket and skirt, making her tall and tall look even more graceful, and her well-dressed makeup is also more feminine, which is completely different from the flamboyant and bright that day people.

After sitting down, Lou Ya looked directly at Fang Ruxuan and said, "Is the princess interested in practicing martial arts? If so, Lou Ya is willing to send the master who taught Lou Ya's martial arts in the Marquis of Lin'an to the East Palace to teach the princess. "

In this way, if someone close to her said it, Fang Ruxuan would feel that the other party cared about or teased her, but if it was said from Lou Ya, Fang Ruxuan would feel awkward.

After being stunned for a while, seeing that Lou Ya was not joking, Fang Ruxuan smiled, "Why does Miss Lou think that I should practice martial arts?"

Lou Ya frowned, as if she felt that Fang Ruxuan's rhetorical question was unreasonable.

"The situation of His Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess should be clearer than anyone else. And the king is in the prime of his life, and no one knows how many years the Crown Prince will have to wait before ascending the throne. But along the way, how many open and dark arrows will the Crown Prince have to deal with, Doesn't the princess know it well?"

Speaking straight, Lou Ya looked at Fang Ruxuan with a natural look, "The original intention of practicing martial arts is to strengthen your body, and when you succeed, you won't be bullied by others. To put it mildly, the princess concubine like this is very helpful to herself. More, more to the point, in case the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince encounter any danger in the future, even if they cannot help the Crown Prince, at the very least, they will not become a burden to him and cause him trouble. Therefore, Lou Ya believes that the Crown Prince Concubine practicing martial arts has a lot of advantages and no disadvantages."

What Lou Ya said was well-founded. If Fang Ruxuan listened to it from the perspective of others, she would almost applaud her, but hearing it now, she felt it was indescribably ridiculous.

She, is she preaching to herself?
"Miss Lou's kindness, I appreciate it. But many things can't be solved by force. Besides, I don't have that interest."

Fang Ruxuan suppressed her smile and said seriously.

"you……"

As if she didn't expect Fang Ruxuan to refuse so directly, Lou Ya felt that the princess concubine married by Da Yuanyuan in front of her was a little unreasonable.

After all, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority, no matter how many complaints and accusations in her heart, Lou Ya suppressed them forbearance, and for a while, the two of them really felt that "the way is different and they are not conspiring with each other".

After drinking a few more sips of tea, Lou Ya left with the excuse of not disturbing the princess's rest.

Seeing Lou Ya straighten her back and go away, Fang Ruxuan turned her head and asked Mu Mian, "Do you think she looks like a person?"

"Miss, you mean, Song Shizi?"

Kapok said jokingly.

Fang Ruxuan nodded with a smile.

One is the eldest son of Dayuan's Houfu, and the other is the young lady of Yaoguo's Houfu. Although they can't get along with each other, they are equally cold and arrogant, equally arbitrary, and both like to be the masters of others, but they are the same. Never thought about whether others needed their own help.
